Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
Baked Eggs with Mushrooms and Cheese pairs earthy mushrooms with nutty Swiss cheese and a hint of garlic and herbs. It makes the perfect weekend breakfast, special occasion brunch, or breakfast-for-dinner.
I always love the idea of going away for a weekend.
Even though I live close to the beach and technically every weekend could feel like a mini-getaway, they usually don’t.…
Strawberry Overnight Oats taste like strawberry shortcake, but are nutritious with fresh strawberries and oats! They’re easy to make, perfect for meal prep, and great for grabbing on-the-go for breakfast or dessert. People who know me know are always shocked to hear that I went through a hoarding phase as a kid. It’s true though!...
This easy, from-scratch Black Beans Recipe combines bold savory flavors like onion, garlic, and smoky cumin with humble beans, and transforms them into something special. Two pantry-staple SECRET ingredients are added at the end to create a wonderfully balanced flavor profile! This Black Beans Recipe will blow your mind. Hearing that I know you’re skeptical, but just hear me out. Beans are the type of thing you eat a bite of and expect them to just be ok. Meh, if you will....
This Banana Coffee Cake Recipe transforms over-ripe bananas into a moist cake with a tender crumb that features a cinnamon-laced brown sugar pecan swirl throughout. I’m not really a shopper, at least not in the sense that most ladies are. I steer clear of the mall unless absolutely necessary (darn Apple Store with its only location in the mall…and double darn Cheesecake Factory with its fabulous cheesecake!). Anyway....
This satisfying Red Lentil Soup Recipe is easy to make, requires minimal ingredients, and has rich, deep flavor and creamy texture. It’s a delicious first course to a larger meal, or it makes a perfect lunch. I wanted to write a post about Ramadan earlier (since it’s already the 16th day!), but time has been flying by. (Update: I wrote and originally published this post on the 16th day of Ramadan in 2009.) Red Lentil Soup is very popular during Ramadan. It’s hearty and delicious, and serves as the perfect tool to whet your appetite....
This Single Serving Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe makes two large cookies that are crispy outside, soft inside, and packed with buttery brown sugar vanilla flavor. This is an easy one-bowl recipe that takes just 20 minutes from start-to-finish. It’s the perfect way to satisfy a chocolate chip cookie craving! Some of my first memories of my mom involve me sitting on the kitchen counter watching her make Chocolate Chip Cookies. Of course I was her “helper”, but that really just involved packing the brown sugar as tightly as I could into a measuring cup and snagging a few chocolate chips as I stirred them in....
This classic Beef Brisket recipe is slow cooked in the oven until it’s tender enough to fall apart. I also give easy instructions on how to make it in a slow cooker so you can prep it in the morning and come home to dinner. It makes a great Sunday supper and it’s kosher for Passover! I grew up with pot roast as part of our regular dinner rotation. It wasn’t until I was in my 30’s that I first had brisket!...
In this Lemony Chickpea and Herb Wheat Berry Salad Recipe, the chewy texture and slightly nutty flavor of wheat berries is accented with tangy lemon, rich olive oil, and zippy herbs. Chickpeas bump up the protein and make it a filling, nutritious lunch or side dish. I’ve always loved hearty salads! Beans, grains, and green vegetables are some of my favorite additions to salads, not only because they’re satisfying and nutrient-dense, but also because they’re sturdy enough to keep well for a few days in the fridge....
This easy Charoset Recipe features crisp sweet/tart apple, dried apricots, apricot preserves, toasted pecans, and aromatic cinnamon for a Passover dish that tastes like apple pie filling and you’ll want to eat all year long. For the past few years, each Passover I’ve been playing around with my Charoset recipe to come up with something I really love. This year I finally got it down pat! Charoset is an easy recipe to customize the flavor and really make your own....
You only need 3 ingredients for this Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs Recipe, and it tastes just like Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs! Whip them up for Easter or whenever you’re in the mood for that magical chocolate + peanut butter combination. As a kid, I always thought Easter had the best candy as far as holidays go....
